Since you'll be heading mostly West, pack a good pair of sunglasses if you plan to drive during the late afternoon to avoid the harsh sun glare. Keep in mind this route crosses international borders. Don't forget your passport, and check current border crossing times and vehicle insurance requirements. For a trip of this distance, flying is significantly faster. However, driving offers the flexibility to explore stops along the way.
